TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Indiana State matched Bradley in the third, then got the game-winner in the fifth in a 6-5 Missouri Valley Conference softball win on Sunday at Price Field.

The Braves (15-19, 4-6 MVC) scored five times in the third inning to break open a scoreless game. Maria Schroeder and Stacia Seeton each had RBI singles and Taise Thompson ripped a two-run double to right.

But the host Sycamores (17-17, 5-6) capitalized on two BU errors in their half of the inning, and Mallory Marsicek's two-out RBI single tied the game at 5-5.

Indiana State scratched for the winning run in the fifth when Leslie Sims beat out a bunt single that scored Rebecca Gibbs from third.

The Sycamores' Della Gher struck out four and gave up just two hits in five scoreless innings out of the bullpen to earn the win. Julie Kestas took the loss for BU, allowing a run and six hits in 2 2/3 innings.

Schroeder, Seeton and Thompson each has two hits for the Braves.
